The Making of Reds.

The first duty of the upstairs servant
in the morning is to tidy up the rooms
and make the beds. Very few servants
can make a bed properly, and still fewer
Will allow themselves to be shown how
to do 1t. Bear in mind, to begin with,
that unless bed is properly aired every
day it certainly will not be a place of
rest. A bed should always be stripped
daily. but unless you are careful to over
look your servant this is duty that
is rarely attended to. The proper
course is pretty much as follows: The
bolster and pillows should, after a slight
shake, be laid aside; the mattress, freed
of the bed-clotheS, should be raised and
allowed to stay in this arch until the
spring bed beneath is well aired. Then
turn it from head to foot, or side to side.
to equaliZe the wear and to prevent any
hard Jumps gathering. Next lay the
under sheet smoothly over it, tucking it
in lightly at the head, foot and sides;
shake and toss the bolster well and see
that the feathers are evenly distributed;
lay it across the head of the
bed and lay on the top sheet, tucking it
in well at the foot end, drawing up and
creasing under the bolster. Repeat
this process with the blankets and quilt;
fold blanket and sheet well in under
the mattress, letting the sides of the
quilt hang loosely or be tucked in even
with the woodwork of the bedstead,
according to the style of the quilt. Lace
ones are allowed to hang. Shake the
pillows as you did the bolster, put them
in place and cover with the shams, and
when you have laid the eiderdown
quilt in its place your bed is made.

Who is it that devOurS all our spare

She.
For whom do we linger at stage doors
with ten-dollar bouquets to purchase,
which we have to endure f0rtnight's

Who is it that at the railroad restaur-

Who is it that accepts our theater
tickets, our So SupperS, our bouquets
and our devotion, and then goes Off and

this we ought to forgive her good deal.

Stand out the famous oyster rocks.
'sWhoal Gee!' and comes the rumbling cart,
And boy. and numbering oxen team
To bear away modest part
Of ores; while soft as dream
The neighboring pines in sad attune,
Watt down lonesome, whispered rune.
But what is that the cart-boy sees
Half wrapped in mingled weeds and sand,
Which makes him stand with trembling
knees,
His pitchfork balanced in his handS
A human drift-the tale is old;
The dredger's fate SO often told.
With shaking hands he lifts the PAIL
And scans the face, the form, the dress;
Alas! his ignorance quick reads ali
Which such a drift can well confess;
And soon he kindly rears mound
Upon the fatal oysler ground.
A drift o, God, but Thou dost know
The cruel need, perchance the shame,
The lonely wanderings, the woe,
Which drove this waif without name
To meet this fate, and Thou canst tell
Where they still wait who loved him well.
High water on the Hungo's sand,
The flowing tide is rising still,
Though covered every point of land,
And floods the inlets Drumming fill;
But soft the pines around the shore
Murmur, HE rests-he drifts no more.'

New YaeK, July 80 very large pro-
NORTON OF New Workers notoriety means
prosperity. There are more ways than one
of advertising, and the way that is most
sinuous and deceptive and coy is the one
most in demand. Let any man start out
with new scheme for attracting public at
tention to his wares and his future is assur-
ed. A tailor's clerk who was making the
magnificent income of IS a week conceived
an idea four years ago of advertising clothes
by printing woodcuts every day in coniunc-
ton with characteristically and peculiarly
written prose and poetry. Within two years
after he began he was taken with the firm
rs a junior partner, with a percentage
granted to amount to at least $1,000 year.
His income is, perhaps, three times that
sum now, and the firm has become the most
prominent one in New York city solely
through the efforts of the clever advertiser.
It is almost useless now to resort to the old
time methods of attracting attention. The
sidewalks are Uttered with handbills that
nobody reads, and they hang in mournful
numbers on posts and in doorways I'M
